Voices of the Code Breakers: Personal Accounts of the Secret Heroes of World War II

As is always the case, my wife Sarah has been
absolutely invaluable, and no thanks could ever
be sufficient in view of her support and
assistance. I am also grateful to my dear friend
Mrs Nora Relingh for valuable information about
the Resistance in occupied Europe. In the
Imperial War Museum’s Department of
Documents I have put Emma Golding to a good
deal of trouble, and I much appreciate her
efforts. I also thank Rod Bailey, an authority on
SOE, for advice. Eileen Simon, of the Veterans’
History Project at the Library of Congress in
Washington DC, has been extremely helpful, as
she has on previous occasions. The VHP, set up
comparatively recently, is becoming widely
known as an invaluable source for historians,
and I feel privileged to have had access to it. I
have received – as I always do – extremely
helpful guidance from Ruth Binney and from
Neil Baber. I would also like to acknowledge the
help of Ame Verso, Emily Pitcher, Tracey
Woodward, Steve Newman and Debbie Jackson.
Finally, I wish to thank the many heroes and
heroines of the codebreakers’ war who gave
permission for their remarkable stories to be
repeated here. Any errors are, of course, mine
alone.
